ST. LOUIS, Mo. – The University of Dayton baseball team dropped the series finale at Saint Louis on Sunday by a score of 8-5.

The Flyers took the initial lead on Sunday, similar to the win on Saturday. Dayton scored a pair of runs in the second inning on an RBI single by sophomore Luke Wolford and a Billiken error which resulted in senior Ryan Berry scoring.

Saint Louis was able to get on the board in the third inning with a single run.

In the top of the fifth inning, sophomore Aaron Huesman plated junior Alex Harris with an RBI groundout, putting the Flyers ahead 3-1.

Huesman then followed up with a two-run single in the seventh to extend Dayton's advantage to four runs, at 5-1.

The Billikens got both those runs back in the bottom half of the frame however with a two-run double.

In the eighth, Saint Louis pulled one run closer, making it a 5-4 ball game before another two-run double gave the Billikens a 6-5 lead over Dayton. SLU went on to add two more runs and take an 8-5 lead from the Flyers.

That would turn out to be the fateful inning as Dayton was shutout in the ninth to end the contest, 8-5.
